X-MEN Benjamin 'Morph' Deeds Comes Out

Another one of the Marvel's infamous X-MEN has just come out as gay.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Benjamin Deeds, a.k.a. 'Morph', a new hero featured in the Uncanny X-Men comic series, nonchalantly revealed his sexual orientation in last week's edition.

"Continuing with Marvel's rich tradition of character development and storytelling, this shape-shifting mutant can alter his appearance to mimic anyone he is in close proximity with," Marvel's Senior Communications Manger of Marvel Entertainment, Joe Taraborrelli, told the The Huffington Post. recently "The fact that Ben has come out as homosexual is just a small facet of who he is and what he is going to bring to Cyclops' select team of X-Men."

Per Entertainment Weekly, Deeds also "has the power to alter his appearance, which will probably come up more frequently in supervillain fights than with who he shares his bed with."
